Our students at Kahului Elementary LOVE to create. A big part of ENCORE program is to develop self-confidence and encourage creativity. Since COVID, I have designed Prek - 5th grade projects around the premise that no matter the skill level, each student will feel pride accomplishment in what they have created. Sometimes this is difficult in that the students drawing doesn't line up with what they are trying to draw.
We currently have 1 classroom lightboard, and there is always a long line of students who want to use it.
Our process is for the students to sketch out their ideas in their sketchbook, then transfer their drawing to their project paper. This enables them to exactly place their drawings where they want it in their drawing composition. This also gives them the opportunity to place creative elements that they are proud of on their finished composition with out the fear of making a mistake. This will go along way to encourage creative thinking!
More than half of students from low‑income households
